Does anybody know what the building is at the one edge of the bridge?Is it tied in to the bridge in some way?
This elegant gentleman is still with us.
Heavy rain had swollen the Big Black River when I visited yesterday and in 90 minutes, I only counted 12 cars. Fast moving water, but the entire bridge spans the river, and the piers were in pretty good shape visually.
Thankfully, the potholes on the east side probably keep a lot of the thru traffic down.
Carry on, fine old gentleman.
Pardon the autocorrect typos. ***Though, not the whole***
I field visited this bridge today but as I was trying to drive across the country in a hurry I did not have time to stop to document it.
I did want to report the whole that the bridge is still open to traffic with no signs of replacement. Hopefully Mississippi will preserve it as it is on the NRHP.
There are several smaller overflow bridges along this stretch of road which appear to have been built at roughly the same time as this bridge.
The road coming in from the east is extremely rough with lots of potholes. Take it slowly! The road from the west is in much better condition.
Thanks,GS.That's what I thought that building might be.
